I'm experiencing an unexpected shut down with jqassistant 2.4.0. Neo4J is provoking a fatal exception. Interestingly with jqassistant 2.0.10 I'm not experiencing this problem.
I have an application where I'm trying to implement jqassistant checks. This is the error I'm getting:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.buschmais.jqassistant:jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.4.0:analyze (default-cli) on project myapp-backend: Execution def ault-cli of goal com.buschmais.jqassistant:jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.4.0:analyze failed: Error starting Neo4j database server at C:\devsbb\ws\myapp

Please see the attached cause exception "The selected target store format 'AF4.3.0' (introduced in 4.3.0) is no longer supported". This database is shutdown. -> [Help 1]

I do not think I need Neo4J unless it's something needed for jqassistant to work. Is there a way to remove this dependency?
How can I make jqassistant run with version 2.4.0 and avoid the Neo4J DB shutdown related to target store format 'AF4.3.0'?
This means that the underlying Neo4j version has changed from 4.x to 5.x and the database cannot be migrated automatically.
The easiest solution is to delete the store directory target\jqassistant\store (e.g. by using mvn clean).
